Is Daniel Craig already looking for his replacement? The James Bond star has mentioned that Jon Hamm could make a great successor under the right circumstances.

A recent Bond novel, Devil May Care, is set in the 1960s which Craig feels would be a perfect fit for the Mad Men star. He told Australia’s Herald Sun: “Have you seen that terrific series Mad Men? It’s great and I look at that guy [Hamm] and he’s got such a great look. If you’re doing the film of [Devil May Care] that look would be perfect. If you were doing a one-off film I would say that’s the way you would go.”
I don’t think a film adaptation of that particular novel is in the works so I doubt this will really be relevant in the end. Besides, aren’t Bond actors supposed to be British-born? Hamm was born in St. Louis, Missouri.
Then again… I never thought I’d see a blond James Bond so stranger things have happened. What do you think? Would you embrace an American Bond?
